Joey Wendle Won't Be Ready Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle will not be ready for game action once he is eligible to come off of the injured list on Thursday.

Week 2 Waiver Wire Watch List

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots.
